Take a test payment
Confirm card processing is working — a low-value real card payment you then refund.
Once you're live, the simplest check that card processing works is a real, low-value transaction you then refund.
- 1
Ring up a small item
On the paired terminal, add a low-value item to an order and go to pay.
- 2
Pay by card
Choose card and present a real card. If processing is active, the terminal prompts for the card and the payment completes.
- 3
Check it landed in the portal
The sale appears in the portal under Transactions (called Tables Served if you use Table Service). See Transactions.
- 4
Refund the test if you used a real card
If you charged a real card, refund the test sale from the device's Records so you're not out of pocket. (Refunds need the Refunds capability — see Modes.)
